A couple years back, a buddy of mine and I got to talking about genealogy. My friend was interested in tracing his CASS lines so his two youing sons could know where they came from but had no computer so I volunteered to do a little hunting for him. I was successful in that I exchanged a couple emails with a fellow named John Massa from Hendersonville, Tennessee. John ever so generously sent along his CASS research so I could send it along to my buddy, who it turns out is a cousin of John's. Not long after passing the info my buddy got a computer but due to a number of things -- including a 3 year old who took the computer apart to see how it works -- never got a chance to get in touch with John. A couple weeks ago my buddy, spurred on by his brother, decided it was time to get back on the genealogy research and asked if I could try to find John again. If any of you nice people know John MASSA, could you please pass this along to him and let him know that the grandsons of Finley CASS and Addie YOUNG -- Duane and James CASS (sons of James Melborn CASS) -- deeply appreciate the info he sent along and appologize for the long delay in sending thanks. With luck they should be online soon and ready to do some serious genealogy. Thank you Lisa Peppan [email protected]
